Each time I install a new version of my component I have to delete the old one first which also deletes the database.
Could there be an option to save the database between installs or perhaps an option to keep the old database?

Looking ahead, if I want to add a feature to my Cook component I would not want to loose any existing data.

Of course, I understand.


On 1.6 or higher it is possible.
On 1.5, joomla first check if folder is used.


Moved to 'new functionalities'

Let me first state that this is an amazing and fascinating product exactly what I was looking for. In just a few hours (listening to the very well made and clearly understandable videos learning doing) I completed and installed my first component. I am now in the second refining phase. I will make a recommenation in JED. Thanks for the effort in creating such a great product. Incidentally some of the best Joomla extension I use are of French origin !
